I have been so sick for the last few days. My poor family has also been sick. I find it super hard to be creative when I feel so bad. So I have been super lazy about blogging. And for anyone else who is under the weather, I hope you GET WELL soon!

It snowed at my house last night. I love the snow. It blankets over the ugliness we might see during the lone winter months and makes things so uniformly white and pure. Ugly everyday things get a sparkly white coating and they become new and beautiful. Snow reminds us that a different perspective can make the everyday mundane world look amazing and breath-taking. It is all in your perspective. And it always comes back to nature for me. Nature reminds us of so many things we take for granted. Nature always speaks to me.

So it is the eve of yet another one of my birthdays. I try to get excited about them but it is hard. And I think it is hard for a lot of other people too. You start to feel older and see what you haven’t accomplished with the time you have spent here on Earth. I wish birthdays could stay the way they were when I was a kid. I got lots of cards in the mail. And it wasn’t about the gifts it was about the surprises. Like on my sweet 16, I woke up to my bed covered in streamers and confetti. I mean just look how obviously happy I was in that picture, even rocking every single bad 80’s cliché in the book. And now I haven’t gotten one card and there won’t be any surprises to look forward to tomorrow. I wish there was a way to celebrate birthdays like I was still a kid, and then maybe me and a few other people who dread getting older might not be so adverse to birthdays.

So we live way out in the country and recently the city decided to put sewers in out here. So far it has been extremely noisy and we are constantly trapped in the house because they have literally destroyed the end of our driveway. I can only hope that eventually all this will be for the better. Fingers crossed!

Nature makes my heart sing! These pictures are of two giant trees at St. Mary-of-the-Woods, near Terre Haute, IN. I felt so wonderfully small and young as I stood under them and looked up. I feel closet to God when I am in the beauty that is nature. I can’t help but think that The Sisters of Providence kept that in mind when they built here.
